chronological synopsis of the development of Arabic language teaching up to now.
Chapter One presents a broad framework for this study as well as the problem and
associated questions whose resolution is being sought, namely treating shortcomings relating
to the teaching of Arabic to non-Arabic speakers as regards reading.
Chapter Two is a survey of the theoretical study that classifies the most psychological,
pedagogic, cultural, linguistic and reading competence principles needing compliance in
the compilation and simplification of texts.
Chapter Three comprises texts that have been simplified by this researcher.
Chapter Four analyses and appraises simplified texts by providing mechanisms used for that
purpose.
Chapter Five comprises a model lesson, based on the principles outlined above.
Chapter Six reviews the most important findings in terms of the ideal time needed for realising
